PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING

1. Unit must be placed within bathroom area before completion of door framing or, if preferred, studs may be omitted or knocked-

out to permit unit placement.

2. Review job print and Aquatic rough-in dimensions; verify all key dimensions against actual job conditions .

3. Make sure framed-in alcove is of proper size, square and plumb; check floor for levelness.

4. If fire-rated alcove is required, approved finish material must be in place prior to unit installation to meet fire safety requirements

of local building code and/or FHA/HUD Minimum Property Standards. NOTE: Finished alcove must have interior dimensions

shown on rough-in diagram to permit installation of unit.

5. Foundation materials (industrial plaster, mortar mix, lightweight grout) are mandatory under the bottom of each unit to solidify

for wheelchair support.

6. If dome light will be installed, cut out required area within molded 12” (305mm) sq. flat area in center of dome. Use fine-tooth

or abrasive-grit blade. Cut from inside. Light fixture must have UL label and be water and steam tight.

7. For showers, provide a 6” x 6” (150mm x 150mm) floor opening for 2” (50mm) IPS and below grade drain connection. (Fig. 1)

For tub/showers, provide a 6” x 12” (150mm x 305mm) floor opening for 1

⁄2

” (40mm) O.D. plumbing drain and overflow kit.

Note: Confirm if right or left hand tub drain. (Fig. 2)

8. Front corner posts are double 2 x 4 studs for flush mounting or triple 2 x 4 studs for recessed mounting. (Fig. 3)

9. 1 x 2 mounting plates installed on front corner posts and on front header. (Fig. 1 Showers, Fig. 2 Tub-Showers)

10. To avoid obstruction, make sure that supply lines and valve plumbing are not strapped to studs and do not project into alcove.

Also, drain pipe must not project above floor level prior to installation.

11. On inside of plumbing wet wall of unit, note location of supply vacuum breaker and mixer valve.

12. Double check location of plumbing to ensure proper fit of all plumbing to the mixing valve and supply elbow.

13. Fasten drain fitting to unit before installing (see manufacturer’s instructions).

ADA/ANSI COMPLIANT BARRIER-FREE SHOWER STALLS:

For roll-in showers with a flat threshold, build up or recess the bathroom floor

⁄4

” less the thickness of the finished floor. For

beveled thresholds, build up or recess the bathroom floor

⁄4

” less the thickness of the finished floor, ensuring that the finished

floor meets the base of the bevel at the threshold.

It is recommended that the bathroom floor outside ADA clear floor space be designed with a floor drain to alleviate any

water over spray that may escape the shower stall.

ADA Code from the Federal Register – Department of Justice 28CFR Part 36 section 4.21.7, July 1, 1994 Rules & Regulations. Excerpt from Paragraph

4.21.7 Curbs “Shower stalls that are 30” x 60” minimum shall not have curbs.”

ADA Code from the Federal Register – Federal Access Board, July 24, 2004. Paragraph 608.7 Thresholds. Thresholds in roll-in type shower compartments

shall be

⁄2

” (15 mm) high maximum in accordance with 303. In transfer type shower compartments, thresholds

⁄2

” (15 mm) high maximum shall be

beveled, rounded, or vertical.

EXCEPTION: A threshold 2” (50 mm) high maximum shall be permitted in transfer type shower compartments in

pre-existing facilities where provision of a

⁄2

” (15 mm) high threshold would disturb the structural reinforcement of the floor slab.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Before placing unit in framed alcove, spread a bed of foundation material around drain extending to perimeter

of shower floor (drain box-out should be back-filled with foundation material).

2. Lift and place unit directly on top with drain fitting over and onto waste pipe with threshold firmly on the floor. Assure

waste pipe protrudes well into drain fitting. Maintain proper floor slope towards drain.

3. Level unit for proper drainage using a 3’ (910mm) long level on top of dam and on front face.

4. Using holes provided, screw (do not nail) unit to mounting places. Start at holes at lower left and right, proceeding upward

alternately on each side and across the top. For wood framework, use #8 x 1

⁄2

” (40mm) flathead wood screws. For metal

framework, use #12 x 1” (25mm) sheet metal screws. Drive screws snugly but do not overtighten.

CAUTION: Do not nail into face of mounting flange. Do not strike flange with any tool.

5. Reference instructions for building up or floating sub-floor for barrier-free installation. (See Page 1.)

6. Note fitting locations and make final connections of vacuum breaker and hose to supply elbow, and escutcheon plate and knob

to mixer valve. NOTE: When caulking drain, protect gelcoat surfaces with corrugated paper. Strap water lines, supply elbow

and mixer valve to studs.

7. Finish front of the unit with drywall. (Fig. 3)

CLEAN-UP

1. Do not remove warranty/maintenance adhered label. Leave on unit for owner/occupant per code requirement.

2. Prevent staining. Remove all debris before plumbing leak test. Use sponge with warm water and liquid detergent. Rinse,

drain and wipe clean. Do not use abrasive cleansers such as scouring powders, steel wool, metal scrapers, sand paper or

anything else that might mar, dull or scratch the finish.

3. Plaster and latex paint may be removed with warm water, liquid detergent and brittle brush or plastic scraper. Glues, tars and

enamels may be removed with acetone or paint thinner. Do not use turpentine or laquer thinner. Do not use excessive heat

or any caustic solvents or chemicals.

4. Dull areas and light scratches may be removed by buffing with a light colored automotive rubbing compound and buffing pad.

Entire unit can be waxed with light colored automotive wax. Do not wax bottom of unit.

5. See user maintenance label for more details.

OPTIONAL VINYL FLEXIBLE DAM (Model #: 9STRIP)

NOTE: Please check with your local Building Code Authority for final code approval.

Installation

1. Make sure the vinyl flexible dam is of proper length by measuring right to left, in between shower walls.

2. Round all four bottom corners to approximately a

⁄

” radius with a sander or utility knife to fit.

3. Before installing, wipe the top of shower threshold with a 50:50 mixture of

isopropyl alcohol and water until surface is clean. Wipe dry.

IMPORTANT: To obtain maximum adhesion, the threshold must be clean and

completely dry before applying vinyl dam.

4. Beginning from one end, place the vinyl dam on top of the shower threshold,

peel away adhesive and press down towards other end.

5. Apply pressure (at least 15 psi) at the bond line. Firm application pressure

facilitates stronger adhesion.

6. Silicone both inside and outside the entire length of the vinyl dam with clear or

white sealant.

7. Product needs to set for 72 hours to acquire 100% bond.

Maintenance

Clean with mild detergent and warm water or any non-abrasive, non-petroleum based cleaner.

Use of harsh chemicals, petroleum based or abrasive cleaners will damage product.
